In his address to the 38th Gulf Summit, the Amir affirmed that this step will help the council to continue its leading role. The Amir said that he was pleased with the proceedings of the current summit, adding that it was important for the GCC members to continue such gatherings. “Any dispute on the Gulf level must not affect the con- tinuation of the summit,” HH the Amir said. He noted that despite “negative developments and sorrowful events” over the last six months, GCC leaders managed to calm the situation, which is an important step in addressing the recent feud. “We have been stormed in the past six months with painful and negative developments... but we managed to achieve calm,” he said. Sheikh Sabah has been mediating to try to resolve a bitter dispute between Qatar on one side and Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt on the other. On June 5, the Saudi alliance cut off all diplo- matic and economic ties with Qatar, accusing it of links KUWAIT: (From left) General Secretary of the Gulf Cooperation Council Abdullatif Al-Zayani, Kuwaiti Crown Prince HH Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim Al- to extremist groups.

  • From Disney to Disaster: the Disney Corporation’S Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks
    From Disney to Disaster: The Disney Corporation’s Involvement in the Creation of Celebrity Trainwrecks BY Kelsey N. Reese Spring 2021 WMNST 492W: Senior Capstone Seminar Dr. Jill Wood Reese 2 INTRODUCTION The popularized phrase “celebrity trainwreck” has taken off in the last ten years, and the phrase actively evokes specified images (Doyle, 2017). These images usually depict young women hounded by paparazzi cameras that are most likely drunk or high and half naked after a wild night of partying (Doyle, 2017). These girls then become the emblem of celebrity, bad girl femininity (Doyle, 2017; Kiefer, 2016). The trainwreck is always a woman and is usually subject to extra attention in the limelight (Doyle, 2017). Trainwrecks are in demand; almost everything they do becomes front page news, especially if their actions are seen as scandalous, defamatory, or insane. The exponential growth of the internet in the early 2000s created new avenues of interest in celebrity life, including that of social media, gossip blogs, online tabloids, and collections of paparazzi snapshots (Hamad & Taylor, 2015; Mercer, 2013). What resulted was 24/7 media access into the trainwreck’s life and their long line of outrageous, commiserable actions (Doyle, 2017). Kristy Fairclough coined the term trainwreck in 2008 as a way to describe young, wild female celebrities who exemplify the ‘good girl gone bad’ image (Fairclough, 2008; Goodin-Smith, 2014). While the coining of the term is rather recent, the trainwreck image itself is not; in their book titled Trainwreck, Jude Ellison Doyle postulates that the trainwreck classification dates back to feminism’s first wave with Mary Wollstonecraft (Anand, 2018; Doyle, 2017).

  • Shedding & Gathering
    Shedding & Gathering 23 minutes For an audio version in English and Spanish dial: 646-880-9127 To stream, visit www.thebushwickstarr.org/ silverliningradio Fall is the time of shedding old leaves and gathering what we need. Today, we’re going let go of, and how to gather what gives us strength. We’ll share 2 exercises from our audio program that invite this theme. 1. We’re going to warm up by shedding our “leaves.” The things you’re tired of carrying, or that you’re ready to let go of—we’re going to call those “leaves.” Each time we shed a “leaf,” we’ll shake a part of our body like we are helping the wind blow that leaf away. wrists. You can shed leaves from your belly or the top of your head or your nose. Or from anywhere you are holding tension. Let’s name some “leaves” and shed them one by one. Caitlin: So for me, one leaf I want to shed is DESPAIR. And I will shake my arms and wrists like branches in the wind and, while I’m shaking, call out: “DESPAIRRRRRR” Caitlin and Rachel call out “DESPAAIIIRRRR” while shaking their upper bodies. Your turn. You can shed as many leaves as you need to. 2. There are lots of important signs we are seeing in New York City windows these days, ranging from Black Lives Matter posters to thank you notes for essential workers. And there are so many MORE messages we could use—so many things that we still need to be reminded of.

  • Paul Mccartney, 1980-1999
    Paul McCartney from Wings through the 90's McCartney II Columbia FC‐36511 May 21, 1980 About ten years after recording McCartney by himself, Paul got several songs together and recorded them‐‐again alone‐‐on somewhat of a lark. Then Paul embarked on his ill‐fated 1980 tour of Japan (which resulted in his being jailed for drug possession). After returning to the safety of his own home, he was urged to release the album, and he did. The album contrasts well with McCartney, for this second production contains numerous instruments and electronic tricks that were not present on the 1970 release. Side One is particularly interesting. The solo version of "Coming Up" is followed by the fun track, "Temporary Secretary" (released as a single in England). The almost‐lament, "On the Way," is then succeeded by "Waterfalls," Paul's second (US) single from the album. "Bogey Music," from Side Two, is also a standout. John Lennon heard a song from McCartney II and thought that Paul sounded sad. When the album was released in the US, a bonus one‐sided single ‐‐ the hit version of "Coming Up"‐‐was included with the LP. This hit was enough to propel the album to the #3 position on the charts, during a time when disco was now on the wane. "Waterfalls" Columbia 1‐11335 Jul. 22, 1980 The lovely ballad about protectiveness was one of the standouts from McCartney II. After "Coming Up," it received the most airplay and the most positive response from Paul's friends. As a single, though, the song fared poorly, only reaching #83...one of Paul's worst showings to date.

  • Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut
    NINE STORIES – J. D. Salinger Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut IT WAS ALMOST THREE O'CLOCK when Mary Jane finally found Eloise's house. She explained to Eloise, who had come out to the driveway to meet her, that everything had been absolutely perfect, that she had remembered the way exactly, until she had turned off the Merrick Parkway. Eloise said, "Merritt Parkway, baby," and reminded Mary Jane that she had found the house twice before, but Mary Jane just wailed something ambiguous, something about her box of Kleenex, and rushed back to her convertible. Eloise turned up the collar of her camel's-hair coat, put her back to the wind, and waited. Mary Jane was back in a minute using a leaf of Kleenex and still looking upset, even fouled. Eloise said cheerfully that the whole damn lunch was burned-- sweetbreads, everything--but Mary Jane said she'd eaten anyway, on the road. As the two walked toward the house, Eloise asked Mary Jane how it happened she had the day off. Mary Jane said she didn't have the whole day off; it was just that Mr. Weyinburg had a hernia and was home in Larchmont, and she had to bring him his mail and take a couple of letters every afternoon. She asked Eloise, "Just exactly what is a hernia, anyway?" Eloise, dropping her cigarette on the soiled snow underfoot, said she didn't actually know but that Mary Jane didn't have to worry much about getting one. Mary Jane said, "Oh," and the two girls entered the house.

In the first days of a lengthy regional tour, the king has appeared with top-ranking officials in Indonesia and Malaysia in pictures and clips that have been shared online millions of times. Indonesian President Joko Widodo shared on Facebook a video of himself dining with the king at the presidential palace in Bogor, near the capital Jakarta. In the video, both men comment on the vis- it, the first to Indonesia by a Saudi king in nearly five decades, and give viewers a rare peek into a state event. As Widodo holds what appears to be a phone camera, the king is seen dining before com- menting in Arabic on his 12-day visit to Indonesia, the longest leg of his month-long tour of Asia. “I’m very happy to be here in Indonesia and with the Indonesian people,” King Salman says to the camera, as an interpreter sitting behind him translates into Bahasa Indonesia. The king was also pho- tographed posing for a selfie with former president Megawati Sukarnoputri and her daughter Puan Maharani, who is a member of Widodo’s cabinet.

  • “L'era Glaciale” (Ice Age )
    Gli eroi sotto zero dei blockbuster mondiali “L’era glaciale” (Ice Age) e “L’era glaciale 2 – Il disgelo” (Ice Age: The Meldown) sono tornati in un’avventura incredibile... destinata a fare storia. Scrat sta ancora cercando di catturare l’inafferrabile ghianda (e intanto forse troverà il vero amore); Manny ed Ellie attendono la nascita del loro cucciolo di mammuth; Sid il bradipo si mette nei guai quando decide di mettere su famiglia con alcune uova di dinosauro che ha trovato; Diego la tigre dai denti a sciabola si domanda se non si stia “rammollendo” ad andare in giro con i suoi amici. Il gruppo deve all’improvviso partire in missione per salvare lo sfortunato Sid e si avventura in un misterioso mondo sotterraneo, dove avvengono incontri ravvicinati con dinosauri, piante battagliere e altri animali feroci, e dove vive una donnola combattiva di nome Buck, orba di un occhio, sempre a caccia di dinosauri. L’ERA GLACIALE 3 – L’ALBA DEI DINOSAURI ha tutto ciò che il pubblico ha amato nei primi due film, ma la commedia di animazione è più ricca di azione e di effetti spettacolari, oltre ad essere (in molti casi) impreziosita dal 3‐D. I nostri amati eroi vivono un’avventura inedita e, al loro fianco, troviamo alcuni nuovi personaggi memorabili. Un’altra novità in questo terzo episodio dell’Era glaciale è un immenso e incredibile mondo sotterraneo popolato di dinosauri. Il lussureggiante ambiente, in netto contrasto con l’habitat invernale dei primi due film, fa apparire poca cosa la vastità del mondo di ghiaccio sovrastante.
